This Pokemon has been around since the early generations of the franchise, and while it isn’t confirmed to appear in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it is available to catch in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Further, you can also evolve it in Arceus just like you can evolve Porygon in Pokemon Go. Here’s what you need to know.
How to Evolve Porygon in Pokemon Legends Arceus
Porygon has two evolutions that players can unlock in Pokemon Legends Arceus. The first evolution is simply known as Porygon2 and just looks like an updated version of the original. The second evolution of the iconic Pokemon, known as PorygonZ, takes on an even different approach to the character.
Unlike many of the other Pokemon native to the world in Pokemon Legends Arceus, players will need to make their way into a Space-Time Distortion for a chance to catch Porygon. Once they have caught one, though, it’s time to start talking about evolving this little Pokemon into its next forms.
As noted above, the first evolution for Porygon is Porygon2. This evolution can be acquired by using the correct item on Porygon. That item, specifically, is called an Upgrade Item. Like many other evolution items found in Pokemon Legends Arceus, players can find this one within the Trading Post in Jubilife Village. You’ll need to acquire 1,000 Merit Points to buy it. Once purchased, give it to your Porygon and you’ll be able to trigger the evolution.
Now, if you want to evolve your Porygon from Porygon2 to PorygonZ, you’re going to need to get an evolution item called a Dubious Disk. This one is a bit different to get, as it will cost you 1,400 Merit Points at the Trading Post in Jubilife Village. But, once you have it, all you need to do is give the item to your Porygon2, and it will evolve into PorygonZ.
Keep in mind that these evolution items do not have any other use, so you should save up and purchase them as soon as you can if you want to evolve Porygon to its other forms. With your Porygon completely evolved, you can check out the differences between Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to see which game fits your needs.
